JDaniel Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 Anyone knows the original factory fret specs of Aria SB basses? Mine is a SB R60 from 81. I´m plannig a refretting operation and just want to know the material/type/syze of the original frets. Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome too! Thanks! Quote
megallica Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 You could try sending a pm to noelk27. He knows a lot about the Aria SB range. Was your bass a defret or a factor fretless? Quote
JDaniel Posted June 30, 2014 Author Posted June 30, 2014 (edited) Hi! I just did it! Thank you! The old owner wanted to transform it into fretless, so he took the frets out and didn´t finish the process. Now I want to refrett it and if possible with the original specs. Just love this thing! Here´s some pics of it: [attachment=165862:DSC00525.JPG] [attachment=165863:DSC00526.JPG] [attachment=165864:DSC00529.JPG] Edited June 30, 2014 by JDaniel Quote
megallica Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 That's a lovely looking bass, I owned an SB R80 for a few months and was very impressed with the tone and build quality. Quote
JDaniel Posted July 1, 2014 Author Posted July 1, 2014 It was lying in a old music store for almost two decades and nobody picked it! Will post more pics after the restoration is complete! It will need the hands of a good luthier to fully come back to its glory! Quote
